Jeremiah 23:21-23

Easy-to-Read Version

²¹ I did not send those prophets,
    but they ran to tell their messages.
I did not speak to them,
    but they spoke in my name.
²² If they had stood in my heavenly council,
    then they would have told my messages to the people of Judah.
They would have stopped the people from doing bad things.
    They would have stopped them from doing evil.”
